Key product offerings included the Essential Suite™, which provided integrated modules for EH&S and Crisis Management, helping to drive process improvements and better decision-making.

In September 2009, ESS was acquired by IHS Inc. (now part of S&P Global) for approximately $59 million. The acquisition was part of IHS's strategy to expand its offerings in the environmental sector, following earlier acquisitions of companies like Dolphin Software and Environmental Software Providers.

  Ferticell

  Food

  Ferticell is a company specializing in sustainable and organic fertilizers for the commercial agriculture industry, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Tempe, Arizona. It began with the goal of improving crop nutrient efficiency sustainably and has since expanded its product line from a single offering to over 18 products available in more than 43 states. Ferticell's business model serves both conventional and organic farmers through a B2B and D2C approach, utilizing a network of agricultural retailers and distributors as key partners. Initially focused on direct sales to organic growers, the company shifted its strategy to collaborate with distributors and dealers to achieve broader market penetration. This approach addresses the educational need for its unique products, which are often used in conjunction with other inputs at lower, more frequent rates. The core of Ferticell's product line is its proprietary technology that uses plant-based raw materials, such as soy protein hydrolysate and single-cell freshwater algae, to create highly bioavailable fertilizers. This technology was developed in Europe and introduced to the U.S. in 2004. Unlike chemical fertilizers, Ferticell's products are designed for immediate plant uptake without needing microbial conversion in the soil, allowing nutrients to be utilized within hours of application. The products are low in salt, non-GMO, and do not contain animal by-products. The company’s unique delivery system involves using unicellular freshwater algae as a carrier, which transports nutrients directly into the plant's cells. This method is highly efficient and also contributes to soil health, as the empty algae cells serve as a prebiotic food source for the soil microbiome. The product portfolio includes a range of liquid and highly soluble powder fertilizers designed to support plants at various growth stages. Offerings like Explorer™ 16-0-0, Nutri-Plus™, and the Universal™ freshwater algae extract are formulated to enhance root mass, increase flower and fruit production, and improve plant resilience to stress. By focusing on plant-derived nutrients, Ferticell aims to provide a sustainable solution that improves soil health, maximizes water usage, and increases crop yields for farmers.

  FetchBack

  Marketing

  FetchBack operated as a specialized digital advertising firm focusing on display ad retargeting. The firm's business model centered on providing fully-managed services to recapture potential customers for its clients after they had navigated away from a client's website.FetchBack's core service utilized its proprietary retargeting platform, known as FIDO, to deliver targeted advertising messages across multiple ad networks and exchanges. This technology analyzed data from prior website visits—such as products viewed, items left in shopping carts, and keywords searched—to generate dynamic ads tailored to individual user interests. The objective was to increase conversion rates and deliver a high return on investment for its clients, which included a diverse range of over 500 advertisers like True Religion and Grand Canyon University. The company's revenue was generated by providing these retargeting solutions to its clients, who sought to re-engage lost prospects.In 2008, FetchBack secured $1 million in a Series A funding round from investors including Metamorphic Ventures. The company's trajectory shifted significantly in June 2010 when it was acquired by GSI Commerce for a reported sum of around $40 million. The corporate structure evolved again when eBay acquired GSI Commerce in 2011 for $2.4 billion, rebranding it as eBay Enterprise. FetchBack, along with other marketing service companies under the GSI umbrella, became part of the newly formed eBay Enterprise Marketing Solutions. This entity was later sold by eBay in 2015 and dissolved, with its various components being sold off or merged into other companies like Pepperjam and Radial, Inc.

  FLXR - AI Browser

  Marketing

  FLXR is an AI-powered automation browser designed for social media marketing, initially launched for macOS. The product's creator, Harold, developed it to streamline the repetitive and time-consuming process of social media engagement for solo entrepreneurs and small businesses. The development took approximately four months before its public beta launch.The browser operates by allowing users to input natural language commands, which the AI then executes to find and engage in relevant conversations within a user's niche. This functionality aims to reduce hours of manual searching and interaction to just minutes. A key feature is its user-controlled automation; it does not post, comment, or like content without direct user initiation and approval for each action. The software works without accessing private APIs, instead driving a visible browser window and using AppleScript to simulate human-like clicks and navigation, ensuring transparency and preventing spam-like behavior. FLXR also gathers context from user activity, which can be reviewed later, and provides metrics on the time saved.The business model is subscription-based, with a paid beta offered at half the price of the planned final launch cost. Early subscribers are grandfathered into their initial subscription plan. The initial beta version focuses on Reddit automation, with plans to expand to other platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn. The target market consists of solopreneurs, SaaS builders, creators, and small marketing teams who need to build an online presence but want to avoid robotic or inauthentic engagement.
